My impression when hearing Angelina singing this song for the first time was: "This girl is someday going to take over the world!!!" With love of course . . . 🌍🌎🌏💗💓❤‍🔥

AJ's just had her 18th b'day (Jan. 10th)...please tell others about her! I watched & re-watched this performance over & over, knowing instantly I was witnessing greatness. Can you believe there were some reactors (when this was 1st released) that criticized her parents for allowing a 'little girl' to sing this adult song?!! Yes, and another reactor who hated her performance because of her "over-emphasizing" the end word(s) of the song's lyric-sentences?!! He actually said he didn't like her performance...AS FOR ME, I was enthralled! I STILL AM. Add to this, I am equally amazed that she designed this arrangement herself with paying tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkin's original version of this song and his willingness to be innovative and entertaining on stage. I'd never heard of him prior to Angelina! How many 8/9 yr old girls do you suppose would know this artist??! Mind-boggling! I have been a sincere and awed fan ever since I came across her performances on NGT; I will remain her sincere, devoted and 'awed' fan. ❤😊

Not many respond to this request that I'm going to give you, I don't know why... But I would love for you to respond to Angelina's performance of James Brown's song "I feel good" live at the age of 9. It just brings tears to my eyes, this talent of hers !!! thanks bro...

Man I just love watching people see this for the first time. Yes it is insane. Great reaction

I think with you being a singer you will really enjoy her jam session to "Portrait of a child".🔥🇨🇦

Great and reasonable, even fully understandable reaction Richard. 👣As I first heard this unbeliveable, even more so than any of her former performances, my thought was that this young girl may even take on some songs from legendary James Brown, and get away with it. And then, that`s just what she did. Even just a few months after this amazing studio production, she took just his song "I Feel Good" up on stage and did this 😵‍💫 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5yDqpigqbiXj3U.html And then at (11) 12 she brought us her version of the JB song "This Is A Man`s World" 👣 🤗

Great reaction to the greatest performance ever. Incomprehensible would be right. Not only that she does so many things but that she knows how at barely 9. She is without a doubt the Greatest of all time.

Ive watched this nearly everyday for three years since my first time. Just to see everyone trip out and have thier brains get shook. She commands your attention because every onset and placement has precise delivery and emotional inflection. Even the shape, color, and texture of each growl is by design. Then you have a mountain of videos documenting the progress of a prodigy as she continues to hit each song with the finesse of a wise senior singer from another era. And her work stands the test of time. Most of her recordings still have the thrill of astonishment because its so very good in quality.

It's baffling how and what it is Angelina does to people. She makes people around the world love her. Her voice, her face. She's just adorable plus something else. Why does Angelina make people feel like the do about her?

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.

Great reaction❤! If you want another mind-blowing interpretation, I suggest that you listen to "I'm Holding Out For You" ❤

She had abilities that take decades to develop...she had them at 6, or rather, she showed she had them at 6 - she probably Knew she had them before that...great reaction! Keep 'em coming

Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpaWZtdkydOmkp8.html

Angelina said she taught herself how to sing by watching KZfaq videos and especially loved Jazz. Starting at three years old she took her prodigious talents and started practicing 4-6 hours a day. In primary school she enrolled in an after school program where she learned how to read, deconstruct and rearrange music and took guitar and piano lessons which she still plays today. The only voice lessons she has ever had have been on how to protect her vocal cords. So you see, it’s really not so hard to understand, Angelina Jordan Astar is a musical prodigy who works her butt off to become the superstar star she said she wanted to be on Norway’s Got Talent in 2014. She probably has the most highly trained vocal cords of any singer on the planet. Practicing 4-6 hours a day starting at age 3 for 15 years will pretty much guarantee that, don’t you think?

I loved your reaction to this one. This is the performance that made me an Angelina fan. It's hard to believe she was only 9 years old. Genius.

What I thought the first time I heard her sing ? My first thought was not about the vocals as I am not very knowledgeable in that matter. But I have a bit of knowledge in acting. I am an actress and could not believe what I was witnessing !!! This 9 year old child understands exactly what this mature woman is saying " Want it or not, you are mine ", with such authority and menace, anger, threath (sorrry about my poor English), and with all the nuances of what such a flawed mature woman goes through. Incredible !!!! And I have learned with the help of people like you, singers, musicians, coaches on KZfaq to appreciate her extraordinary and unique vocal vcapabilities. I wish other actors would comment on that very precious side of her big big talent. Happy 18th Birthday Angelina !

There is one earlier than this and in its own way just as astounding. For a start 6 year old Angelina is in the sound booth reading the lyrics and singing in English. After she sings and belts out I WHO HAVE NOTHING she reverts to a little girl whose headphones are nearly the same size as her head and calmly discusses in her native Norweigan that she fluffed one line slightly. Then there is the bit near the begining ...she's so cute as she excitedly acknowledged acing a difficult bit. ..... this is the performance really has you questioning reincarnation. Its beyond prodigy its dumbfounding. Please react to it.

Angelina Jordán, a vocalist whose complex voice full of colors is beyond the reach of most singers, the greatness of a prodigy or genius like Angelina Jordan is to remain unique, different, being incomparable and thus be able to go down in history as the best of all time, greatness is not in seeking perfection, rather it is in finding originality, Mexico

Richard, Ms. Jordan began practicing singing for four to six hours a day starting at five years old, to perfect her tone and technique. By the time of this performance at nine, she was well on her way to masterclass level. Ms. Jordan is one of the most documented humans of our era, her growth and development has lead to much speculation on "the how is this possible thinking", but then comes the realization that prodigies have always been among us. I can only say I count myself fortunate to be witness to what Ms. Jordan has accomplished in the past and what she will create in the future. Rb

She is a household name. Every day in my house 👍

Love your reactions to A J, but this song always blows reactors' minds.

Thanks for the wonderful and aware reaction, Richard. this song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤

Most reactors start learning about AJ through this performance or her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm surprised it took you so long to discover this amazing incredible performance.

... I've waited a long time for a singer like Angelina ... and the wait has exceeded all my expectations ... ✨💎✨ Thank you

Pure musical Dynamite !!!

You reacted the same way we all did when we saw it the first time. In fact after hundreds of times watching it, I'm still amazed each time. For some other songs where Angelina really demonstrates her prowess I would recommend... 1. It's a man's world, Forsvarets orchestra 2. Feeling good, indoor TV performance 3. Lovin you, outdoor concert, enhanced audio Can't wait!

Awesome reaction to our barefoot princess and happy birthday Angelina 🎉 wild bill

Great reaction Richard! As you can imagine, this performance has blown a lot of minds. This is a wonderful tribute to the Jay Hawkins original, apparently her own interpretation. Despite all the growling and screaming you notice her voice is never dissonant. She does not know how to make a bad note.

9 yrs old

All that any us really understand Richard is that you are witnessing one of the most talented and gifted vocalists you shall likely ever see in many decades....pure generational talent and music genius.❤❤🥰🥰

AJ is an amazing talent and what she was already able to do at such a young age is stunning. I hope she becomes a world star.

Its 1/11/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯

#angelinajordan

❤ The band members know her as a household name for two years by this time. 😂 Try reacting to her rendition of another Jay Hawkins song “Portrait of a man (child)” in a jam session with the same band. You’ll notice how respectful they are to each other. Thanks

She did this at Age of 9 She did "Bohemian Rhpsody" at age of 13 She sang her Original Song "Million Miles Away" at age of 15 Her Ep "Old Enough" at age of 17 Just Listen to her Growth I am not covering her other Covers like "Stay", "Billie Jean", "Heal the World" Another Beautiful Song I like is "7th Heaven" Bro go ahead and react to her song. She will make your Day and will be Satisfied and Happy.

I have seen this video well over 1000 times and I am still in awe of this performance.

It was nice you got to see Angelina's Beast Mode she doesnt tap into it much, but it's there waiting when she wants to bring it out!

Thank you for your reaction. I suggest that you fast forward to last month when she sang Unchained Melody at the Nobel Prize Cerimony honoring an Iranian woman who has been in prison for 9 years for promoting woen's rights. Angelina's grandmother is Iranian. She met the woman's childern who are the same age as she prior to the concert. In this context the song has very strong meaning and impact. It is one of Angelina's best performances, just exceptionally eautiful music.

👍🏼🎼🤗💞

Yep, she could do that, at just past her ninth birthday.

😮 When I first saw young miss Angelina I totally kept forgetting to breathe

Scary talented.

Brilliant reaction, just as expected! I never tire of watching Angelina no matter which song, what age, or which venue!

Thank you for featuring Angelina again. I hope you will do many more reactions to her, as she is well worth every nanosecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on KZfaq, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she can convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. This is Angelina's tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. Another Angelina "Angel" has pointed out something else which I had missed, and it is added at (l) below, (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. (k) Perhaps the most remarkable is that despite her tender years, she sings with such total conviction that her authenticity is never in doubt. It is easy to believe that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics. It is not only her voice that is mesmerising, it is also her facial expressions, and the way she uses her hands and body. Her stage presence is electrifying. (l) The performance absolutely is powerful and raw but to me, I am amazed that this is balanced by the profound beauty of the ending phrase; the last twelve words of the song. AND… they are essentially sung a cappella! Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.

When people tell you how good Angelina is, you still can’t really understand that until you hear songs like this. Angelina is, simply, the best singer I’ve ever heard.

React to the original 1956 Screamin Jay Hawkins. You will see how unique AJ is❤❤❤❤

That your brain can't compute what you are hearing versus seeing.. Fly me to the moon, Summertime, great reaction!

Great reaction. I never get tired of listening to this performance or to watch others listen to it for the first time. You asked what the band must think. Actually they were well aware of who she was as she had won Norway’s Got Talent the year before. In fact the trumpet player played on her winning performance on the show.

That was crazy 😁 Crazy good!

If you get a chance to react to her singing Back to Black at age 10 you will be amazed. Her momma told her she couldn’t do the song because of the adult content so she rewrote the lyrics to the exact same music only one day prior to her performance. She is also performing with the same orchestra KORK ( if I spelled that right ) that she just performed with at the Noble Peace Prize concert. It’s truly amazing . Thankyou for your reactions. I truly enjoy listening to a musician who knows music.

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

LOL! Richard, as many reactions you've had of her and you still weren't ready😂, the look on your face, priceless. Great reaction.

Thanks, R! despite how much older she is now, this remains one of my favorites.. she's barely NINE here... lol

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Incredible, isn’t she?

Yeah - AJ blows you away every time - for similar, but still distinct reasons - such a capable artist. And she reaches you emotionally as well with her sincerity and amazing story telling capabilities, all on top of her insane musical talent. Might I suggest you react to her performance of "Feeling Good" (she has a couple versions - start with this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pp6bdK9e2K2uqGw.html ) AJ was 10 yrs old in this one - her arrangement, on live Norwegian TV. Unbelievable.

Allan Kardec explica, ela tem uma voz única inteligentíssima, esplêndido!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

As a fellow musician I really appreciated everything about this track. The filming and the band, everything was just so perfect to let you really enjoy Angelina's voice. By the way, you CAN growl, I'm sure of it. Don't hold yourself back. Get some coaching from someone like "The Fairy Voice Mother" and you'll be growling in a few minutes. You clearly have the artistic sensibilities to be a great singer, so go for it! None of us are going to be Angelina Jordan but I think if we understand her we must try to be whatever we can be, musically, if we have music in us.

🎙🤯🥰🔥🇨🇦😇

11 MILLION VIEWS AND COUNTING😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎙️🎶. She celebrated her "18th" birthday yesterday... And is featured on the cover of (Greece's) GALA MAGAZINE (Dec 2023)... The pics of her are works of art.. I encourage you to check out the Kaleidescope KZfaq channel, they feature the spread and produce some amazing Angelina videos w/very creative touches. Enjoyed your reaction!!! See you on the flipside, PEACE!!

This was my second song from Angelina. I were looking for versions of "My baby shot me down", one of the top KZfaq suggests was Angelina at NGT and after to she her versions I were impressed and had no option, I needed to check this one and ... I fallen in love.

🥰

💯

Thanks. ❤❤❤ Yesterday was Angelina’s 18 Birthday. 🎉🎉🎉

👍👍😍😍👍👍

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Very good reaction, my friend. The only way possible to react to be fair 😅 I agree with you, at 9 years 2 months (basically still 8, right ??) this performance should not be possible. Happy New Year! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

9yo and still losing her baby teeth and yet still sings like this.!!!

😂 I turned it off, went looking for more of her stuff I was more into. It was a bit wild and I wasn't ready so I new I better come back to it prepped. I was just getting to know her. She pretty much scared me away from it for a bit. 🤷‍♂️

The high screech was done on an onhale. Most small kids can do it....

🙂👍🔥

Thanks for your great reaction! Please react to Born to Die, and I'd rather go blind , both at the age of 12!❤

Hi Richard your greatest reaction bring me to your Channel. now I'm a new subscriber, What if a girl group? This video will make you smile everyday, react to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (So Hyang Version) by 4th Impact Cover Have a lucky Channel.

Se posso consigliarti qualche video di Angelina ti direi di cercare quei video in cui fa le prove con le band o le orchestre,li potrai capire come interagisce con i musicisti e che è lei che ha in mano la direzione degli arrangiamenti,e questo fin dalla età di 8 anni. Poi voglio consigliarti due sue interpretazioni eccezionali: "Feeling good"10 anni dal vivo sessione serale e "Still holding out for you" 10 anni. Rimarrai folgorato.

Reincarnation

Taking nothing whatsoever from Angelina's incredible talent...Dimash?
